Monitoring Climate From Space
Week 2: Techniques and Technology - Part 1
The methods and technologies for observing and accumulating evidence about climate change, its impacts and solutions.
This video introduces the ESA Sentinels and the Copernicus programme, along with a range of other recent and current Earth observation missions
This video will introduce you to some of the ways in which we can assess atmospheric properties using EO data collected by satellites.
This video will introduce you to the Monitoring Atmospheric Climate and Composition (MACC) project.
This video will explore how satellite data relating to the composition of Earth’s atmosphere is enabling us to run increasingly detailed atmospheric models, and what this can mean for policy.
In this video Dr Mathias Disney explains some of the challenges of observing the land surface from space
This video looks at the role of land surface vegetation in the carbon cycle, and introduces some other highly important properties of the land surface that we can now assess fairly routinely from Space.
This topic looks at monitoring the distribution of plant biomass from satellites for studying the carbon cycle, and its relation to climate.
